On July 12th we will experience a Super Full Thunder Moon in
20 degrees of Capricorn at 7:25 a.m. Why is it called a super full moon? A
super full moon occurs when the moon's closest approach to the earth, aka the
lunar perigee, coincides with the phase of the full moon. This causes the moon
to appear bigger and brighter while increasing the likelihood of natural
disasters. The Indians called the July full moon the Thunder Moon because of
the frequent thunderstorms. I'm sure no one can argue with that logic after the
weather of the past week! I decided to
use the pool in my building on July 7th and within ten minutes I received
notifications on my cell phone of thunderstorm and tornado watches! We had neither, but it did start pouring rain
within a few minutes.
How is this full moon going to play out astrologically? We
will be dealing with themes of balancing emotional security and home life with
outer accomplishments and personal achievement. Ideally we will be trying to
achieve stability and success while searching for deeper meaning in what we
have created. Once again, I would like to give credit to fellow
astrologer Molly Hall for her astute observations in this week's About
Astrology. She commented that this full moon is about persevering through a
crisis of growth, growing in personal authenticity, and honoring our
commitments because Capricorn is tough love personified.
Relationship dynamics will also come to a head with this
full moon because it sets off a mini Cardinal Grand Square this weekend. Mars,
Ceres, Vesta and the north node in Libra will all be squaring the sun and moon.
Mercury will be re-entering the sign of Cancer on the 12th as well, amping up
the emotional tone of communication and providing an opportunity for us to
review issues from late May and early June. Then Mercury continues to move
forward in Cancer and leaves its shadow period by July 16th. But we can count
on some planetary assistance in the relationship department because Mars in
Libra conjuncts the north node, our soul's mission, and trines Venus in Gemini.
I love those trines; they are literally hugs that provide support and encouragement in
resolving relationship issues.
Personally, I think that the moon in Scorpio on July 7th set
in motion the highly emotional tone for this full moon. It prompted me to post
these two tweets on the7th:
"Cancer Sun trining Scorpio moon brings increased emotional
sensitivity which can lead to generosity or jealousy and manipulation."
"Scorpio moon trining Neptune in Pisces elicits compassion but
don't become a victim. Moon's trine to Chiron puts us in touch with our
wounds."
Of course, the moon in Scorpio always directs emotions
inward and people will have a tendency to react to psychological slights with a
desire for revenge. On July 7th transiting Venus in Gemini was inconjunct
Saturn in Scorpio, so that brought out more of a "stinging" tone to
relationships because adjustments were needed. For many of us that may not have
played out and the Scorpio stinger undoubtedly prevailed.
Another piece to this full moon is that Pluto in Capricorn
is rising above it. The moon enters the sign of Capricorn late on
July 10th and we should definitely feel its effects on Friday, July
11th when the moon conjuncts Pluto.
There will be tension in the air and this is not going to be
a lightweight full moon!
The moon in Capricorn can have a depressing tone because it
is ruled by Saturn, which emphasizes the learning of difficult lessons. I have
a Scorpio friend who has a natal moon in Capricorn and she has noticed that
depression looms for her when the moon is in Capricorn. I hope that she can be free of that heavy
depression during this full moon; perhaps she will be able to let go of that
pattern.
As for me, this full moon will conjunct my natal Chiron in
the 4th house and the Sun will conjunct my midheaven. I am fully aware that this can bring up old
wounds by contacts with people from the past to facilitate healing. I am trying to focus on the concept that this
will teach me to move through to the other side of pain. I am also trying to
capitalize on that Capricorn energy and Sun in my 10th house this
weekend by formally announcing my Reiki Open House on July 20th to promote my
career as a healer. I have also been
getting a few requests for my astrological and tarot services, so Jupiter in my
10th house is definitely working its magic. It started when transiting Jupiter in Cancer
conjuncted my natal Uranus in the 10th house last week, proving that
astrology works. Yes, I would like even
more business, but I can’t be greedy. I
can definitely sense a shift in energy and I think that when Jupiter moves into
Leo next week the pace will quicken.
Jupiter does have a lot to do with hope and faith, so I have to keep the
faith and trust my inner guidance that all is unfolding as it should.
